The change in value from 6 to 4 is marginal. Giving up a 2nd and an NHL player is ridiculous (which is why you don't - and won't - see it)

Hey I love Bouma as much as anyone...but he isnt some sort of deal breaker to move up 2 spots at the top quarter of the draft.
There is no way he and a 2nd entice Columbus to switch spots with Calgary even if Hartnell's contract comes with it. Hartnell alone is good enough to garner a bigger return( from any team) thats better than a 2nd and a 4th line player.
